Take a moment, after you read this, to steady your mind. Stop the thought that begins to formulate, and simply let it linger for a moment. CLose your eyes. Breathe. Deep inhales through your nose, long exhales out through your nose. Observe the thought. Watch it linger in your mind's eye. Take a moment with this thought, then send it on its way. Return to the sound of your breath.
Make this your practice, on your mat, and off. When you are with your breath, you see there is so much to let go. Fear, sadness, the past, the future. Empty yourself completely and be with this moment entirely.
"We too should make ourselves empty, that the great soul of the universe may fill us with its breath."
~Laurence Binyon
